Democrats ‘united by a common purpose: putting a check on Trump’, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand say
Leading Democrats quickly papered over whatever qualms they had about progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed after his win in the Michigan Senate primary was confirmed on Wednesday, instead welcoming the former public health official as their champion against the Republican nominee, Mike Rogers.
The state is now key to Democrats’s hopes of retaking control of the chamber in November’s midterm elections. Winning in Michigan would put them on the path to snarling Donald Trump’s legislative agenda and blocking his judicial nominees for the final two years of his presidency, while defeat could undermine their prospects of gaining a majority in the chamber for years to come. Rogers lost a Senate race in Michigan two years ago by a slim margin to Democrat Elissa Slotkin.
I don’t know about you, but I’m quite surprised at all.this talk that losing an election undermines your prospects of gaining majority. That seems like something that should have been explained a while ago.
Near as I remember, “we need every seat to gain/maintain a majority and resist MAGA” has been the sole argument of the DNC in every race since 2016.
Inevitably followed by “don’t like what we’re doing/how we’re doing stuff? At least we’re not MAGA”
Same McKinsey group consultants making millions by telling them to say the line again, too.
